If the discipline of Zen painting can be applied to archery, tea ceremony or flower arrangement, then why not photography?
Using a Sumi brush, and painting with developer as a substitute for ink, these images were completed in moments. No time for hesitancy, doubts or darkroom technique. For that moment, only I, the medium and the image exist.
Woman and a Sumi Brush is about a photographer's dream to be also a Zen painter and the dear friends who helped to achieve it. The work is personal and subjective and the images are about essence and not realism.
